Hi glasscutter,

I dont think it is, since it changes you desktop picture.

Scrolling down in the link you provided, I read:

How do I enable slideshow in Windows 11 Photos?​

The Slideshow feature in the Photos app in Windows 11 is removed now.

Which is afaik not true!

What I want to do, is select a particular photos folder from my machine and using the Photos app, display a slideshow from it.

You can do that but a slideshow using the new photos app is now very basic to the point it's almost laughable from what I can see though I never use it myself. We can no longer change the speed like we used to. To see a slideshow in new Photos app open a folder, select first photo, F5 starts a slide show. I understand the Photos app is getting some added features now testing in the Dev and Canary channels but I have not seen it mentioned that the slideshow feature is being improved.

This article explains other options you can use if slideshows are a big thing for you. How to Get the Old Photos Slideshow on Windows 11?

So, the answer to my question is no.:(
Can you recommend a 3rd party app that gives speed/ scramble, and maybe some other features?

Far out suggestion.

Perhaps you could run the slideshow in a virtual machine and reduce RAM of vm so it runs much slower
